The book of Job is Narrative History. Its author is unknown yet it is possible that Job himself wrote it. It is possible that Job is the oldest of any book of the Bible written approximately 2100-1800 B.C. Key personalities of this book include Job, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite, and Elihu the Buzite. In Job, we see a man who God allows to be directly attacked by Satan. He is an example of faithfulness as he loses everything important to him yet remains faithful to God.

The Book of Job is the first poetic book in the Christian Old Testament, and can also be found in the Ketuvim section of the Jewish Tanakh. Widely praised for its literary qualities, it depicts Job's imperishable love for God, and to test that love, God takes everything from him. Even in the face of great adversity, Job makes grand proclamations of his undying faith to his Lord, and as a result, God rewards him heavily. This book is beautifully voiced by The Bible Reading Collective....

Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? Warren W. Wiersbe tackles this question as he explores the life of Job in his commentary Be Patient. Through Job's story, we are reminded of God's sovereignty and encouraged to endure the suffering in our own lives.

The Hebrew Book of Job is part of Ketuvim ("Writings") of the Hebrew Bible. Not much is known about Job based on the Masoretic Text. The characters in the Book of Job consist of Job, his wife, his three friends (Bildad, Eliphaz, and Zophar), a man named Elihu, God, and angels (one of whom is named Satan). It begins with an introduction to Job's character-he is described as a blessed man who lives righteously in the Land of Uz. The Lord's praise of Job prompts an angel with the title of "satan" ("accuser") to suggest that Job served God simply because God protected him.

"Le livre de Job" est l'un des Livres du Tanakh (religion juive) et de l'Ancien Testament (religion chrétienne). Poème didactique écrit en prose, on considère généralement qu'il porte sur le problème du Mal. Dans ce récit dramatique, Satan accuse Job devant Dieu et prétend que Job ne servirait plus l'Éternel s'il se trouvait dans l'affliction. Dieu va donc prouver à Satan que son serviteur Job lui demeure fidèle, même dans la souffrance. Dieu permettra au diable de le frapper.

In this short work, G.K. Chesterton writes with characteristic vivacity as he explores the compelling paradoxes of the book of Job, as found in the Hebrew Scriptures. Armed with keen precision and incisive wit, Chesterton revels in the reversions of expectation found in this story, particularly regarding the character of God. Indeed Chesterton names the God of Job a blasphemer, an atheist...and identifies the loneliness of God as the central idea of the Hebrew Scriptures. Listeners will delight in the twists and turns of Chesterton's thought.

The most casual listener soon recognizes the majority of the writings of the Old Testament have to do with the history of the Israelites (also known as Hebrews or Jews). Embedded in the Old Testament is a wealth of knowledge about God and his character, books of poetry and proverbs, and a host of prophecies. Genesis & Job describes the creation of Earth, gives the history of all mankind, and describes a brief history of the Israelite nation from its beginning until it moves to Egypt.
